A new UK-wide directory connecting people with local food producers is set to launch at an awards night in Dorset this week.
Fresh From Our Farms will be unveiled on September 24 at the fifth annual Love Local Trust Local (LLTL) Awards Night, held at Down Barn Farm near Blandford Forum.
The scheme aims to connect the public with trusted farmers, growers, and producers in their own county.
Barbara Cossins, founder of Love Local Trust Local, said: "This year's Awards Night is all about celebrating what these awards truly mean, championing the incredible producers and artisan makers who make our local community what it is."

The LLTL awards celebrate small Dorset producers and makers who champion the county’s food movement.
This year’s ceremony will honour winners across 15 categories, including retail, food and drink production, hospitality, farming, sustainability, and business growth.
Guests will enjoy a locally-sourced dinner prepared by Barbara and her team from The Langton Arms, set in a harvest-themed barn at Down Barn Farm.
Love Local Trust Local was founded in 2018 in Dorset by Barbara Cossins, a farmer's daughter who, with her husband James, are fifth-generation farmers at Rawston Farm in the Tarrant Valley.
The Fresh From Our Farms directory was developed in partnership with Sue White.
